Anyone else get dysphoric over sneezing?

Take mine. :dry:

"HAAA...cho."

Gives me away as female voiced. So I suppress them if possible.

 

Ugh tell me about it...actually it's weird I felt so bad about my sneeze I've been practicing...turns out you can train yourself to do smaller, stupid sounding sneezes which are SLIGHTLY better than one massive nose-explosion.

I mean you really do sound like a complete dick for a while, but it's still better than nothing xD

Strangely though I have the girliest hiccups in the world.

 

definitely. My dad knows both ways lol

Imagine trying to sneeze in a crowded theatre or during a concert of classical music. I bet you wouldn't be loud. Trying that could be a good start.

 

When I get the hiccups, people often wonder what in the world the sound is. Aparenty my hiccups don't even sound human. Given information I've revealed in other threads, maybe I'm not

 

You can train a lot of vocal actions aside from talking. Coughing, sneezing, yawning, throat clearing etc etc =)

 

For me, sneezing means I have to readjust my chest/binder. Very inconvenient.

 

For what it's worth, my mom sneezes like a hacking cough (Er, sorta like me), and my twin brother sneezes pretty quietly (At risk of sounding like a nerd, it sounds like the 2nd and 3rd hammer sound effects in Paper Mario). I think part of it at the very least is about suppressing the sneeze to an extent, maybe?

 

I actually loathed having to sneeze/cough whenever I was in public (pre hormones) because it sounded so feminine. I'd do stupid things like trying to squeeze my nose or attempt to hold in whenever I had to cough and I probably looked like such an idiot.

This too. .__.

 

I'm actually kinda lucky here. I've always sneezed incredibly femininely. If I had to spell it out, it'd be kind of a "tchuu!" kind of noise. It's funny, I had a friend who used to say "You sneeze like a girl" almost every time I sneezed near him and that made me kinda dysphoric. Now that I'm out to him, he doesn't say it any more. Coughing however? I hate my coughs X___X

 

I don't think it's possible to cough in a feminine way...you ever heard a cis-woman actually cough? HACK HACK HACK!

 

I tend to have a wheezy sounding cough. But that's probably due to asthma. Even if I just inhaled some drink or whatever, it tends to trigger some asthma symptoms along with the regular coughing.

 

I have a girly sneeze XD

 

When I sneeze I sneeze in groups of six. And it looks like I'm head-banging to a scream o concert mixed in with a seizure. Dysphoric? Nah, it's embarrassing no matter what.

 

My sneezes are fine, my hiccups/yawns on the other hand are squeaky things :/

 

Pro tip for anyone trying to sneeze / yawn like a man.

If you can't fit your hand in your mouth while it happens, your mouth isn't open wide enough! Make like a lion and ROAR!

 

It's not so much sneezing for me as it is clearing my throat, which I have to do quite frequently if I talk in a lower register. It puts some strain on my throat. But when I clear it, it sounds very high-pitched compared to my speaking voice.
